So Worried - is it another Ectopic?

I had an ectopic back in July 2013 - probably around 7 weeks, didn't even know I was pregnant. HCG levels were only around 180 but still ended up with my right tube removed. We move to IVF (in vitro fertilization) (due to genetic carrier reasons) and on 1/22/14 transfered one healthy 5 day blast. I got 2 faint positives on hpt but my beta at 13 DPO (days past ovulation) was only 13 (Thursday). I go back Monday for beta. I woke up this morning with bad breast pain in my left breast. I'm PRAYING for a chemical (never thought I would say that) but does anyone think it could be ectopic?I'm so scared because I already lost one tube. I was usually able to get pregnant on my own easily so this would be devastating. Any advice? Also if ectopic at those levels should the shot work with limited damage??

I just got my positive hpt on Thursday also I believe I was 13dpo as well. I just did betas yesterday also....I know how your feeling. I've been having cramps on and off for days that make me worry...I wouldn't start to worry till your numbers show otherwise.... we did a ultrasound and my lining did look thicker... so that's the only hope I have till I get another set of numbers on Monday....good luck to you!....if you see any brown spotting or pain in your shoulder or one side of your pelvis then worry till you know for sure enjoy being pregnant each and every day!

I had a similar thing happen to me last month.. I got a faint positive on an frer about a day before my period was due.. I went and got hcg taken and it was only a 9! It went up over the next week to 22 then 55 then back down to 22. As weird as it sounded I was praying for a chemical. I knew my levels were super low because I knew when I had od. I was so worried about another ectopic. It did go down back to 5 so the doc said it was a really early miscarriage. He never used the term chemical. . Praying for you and an iup!!
